Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners craving a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability-all in one layer-was refined. The result is a featherweight, formfitting and virtually seamless upper.

Customer Reviews

I love the racers because they're so comfy and because I own a few already. I felt like I needed to get this color way. I wear them when I'm running and doing some cardio but they are so comfy for lifting as well. If I could. I'd buy all the colorway possible but that's impossible because sneaker heads like to buy them and resell them for higher price. Definitely one of my favorite. Will likely buy any new colors they come out with just because of how light and how much I like wearing them. They look nice when I wear them to run errands as well.

This is shoe is incredibly comfortable and convenient for doing anything casually. I don't wear it as my primary running shoe, but it's extremely comfortable for walking around. Its specifically for spring/summer/early fall, but because it doesn't require socks and still remains cool, its a perfect casual shoe.
